As far as I can see, free_irq does nothing if its second argument is not
the same as the last argument of the corresponding call to request_irq.
These were found using the semantic match below (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/).
This semantic match finds a number of other cases, but they are mostly in
platform driver probe functions, so the functions should be just converted
to use devm functions, eliminating the need to call free_irq at all.
